Launching a jar file from within another jar file

807591Mar 12 2008 — edited Mar 13 2008
Hi guys/gals

Here is the scenario, We have a stand-alone executable jar application. Lets call this application appl'n X. We want to wrap appl'n X in another jar file. Lets call this appl'n Y. When a user launches appl'n Y, after Y does some authentication we want it to then launch X from within Y.

So we're looking at one jar file Y. with another jar file X inside it. But Y has to be able to launch X. Can this be done?
If yes could you please point me in the right direction.

I hope this is clear.

Regards,
PSC
